Trevor Sowden's Illustration for 'Other Voices'

Order Now for Christmas Delivery


Our latest title, ‘Other Voices of the British Isles’ is now available. It's an ambitious project, featuring poetry in four dialects, nine languages (each with an English translation) and illustrations by five artists.

‘What It Is’, with Erich Fried's original German and translation by Jane Wilde, is still available. It's our second collaboration with artist Olga Sienko who, you may remember, illustrated the long since sold out White Magic.

Kelsey Excelsior in Swiss Style Packing

Meanwhile, we're preparing the The Composing Room Stores for a big update. We'll be adding a bowler, a lead and rule cutter and a recently restored Adana. If you can't wait that long, please drop us an email to express your interest.

Thought mythical until recently, we finally captured a supply of Rubber Side Sticks last year. They've proved invaluable for beginners! Our new stock is even grippier than before so, if you haven't tried them yet, now's the time.

Swiss Style Packing continues to be our best seller and our Top Layer packing is now better than ever. We're in hot persuit of a new supplier of Bottom Blankets – we know how much you miss them – but while you're waiting for those to appear, why not try the new Tympan Manilla? Many thanks to Jacqui Sharples for this photo of her beautifully restored Kelsey modelling our packing.
